4 INTRODUCTION The DAC has an Infrastructure Development Unit (IDU) that oversees construction, maintenance and payment of municipal services of the DAC infrastructure portfolio. The construction of buildings is mainly done by DPW and some projects were done by IDT. The private leasing portfolio is managed by entities themselves. The IDU is faced with the challenge of the limited capacity: it consists of a Director and three recently appointed Project Managers to implement the infrastructure programme. The challenges faced were: – Under expenditure – Poor project management – Limited monitoring and verification of work done Deliberations to resolve infrastructure challenges take place at the strategic level. Areas which require improvement were identified and processes for interventions were initiated. These are outlined in the slides with challenges and interventions. 4
